Faculty & Staff

Seward County Community College faculty bring more to the students than classroom instruction. Through our instructors, many of whom hold doctorate-level credentials, students gain access to rich and varied life and professional experiences. Learn journalism from a former international bureau chief who covered every major disaster on four continents over 20 years. Get Commercial Drivers License instruction from a man who started out delivering milk and eggs from rural Pennsylvania to New York City. Participate in university-level lab work with science and Allied Health researchers. Put all those resources together, and students can gain the skills they need to succeed in their chosen fields.

Behavioral Science

Students in the behavioral science field look at individuals and their behavior, as well as that of societies, groups, and other cultures Behavioral science also examines processes that can contribute to specific behaviors both positive and negative such as alcohol and drug use, parenting, social norms, expectations, and systems. Students at SCCC are able to pursue studies in general, abnormal, and developmental psychology, and sociology. For employment in the professional world of sociology or psychology, a master's degree is usually the minimum requirement, with top positions in these fields held by individuals with a doctorate degree. SCCC's behavioral science program offers a solid foundation of courses that students are able to transfer to a four-year college or university.
